Chas, F. Crisp before that body last Saturday: Congressman Crisp, of Georgia, a can didate for speaker of the next houso of representatives, was given a most hearty welcome. The members of the Wigwam cheered until ho bowed acknowlcdg- ‘inents several times. He spoke ns fol lows: At each reclining anniversary of that immortal declaration which you have just heard so beautifully read, this ro- uuwned society assembles in its ancient hall to pledge anew its • devotion and allegiance to the principle of popular government. That declaration, made good and effective by the valor, tho de votion and self-sacritlcing patriotism of the fathers, signalized tho Imagination of a movement which resulted in tho establishment of the government under which wo live. After eight years of a struggle, and privation and hnrdshiD, our arms were successful and our Inde pendence assured. Then Virginia, the mother of states and of statesmen, pro posed a convention of the states to form a national or federal government. The convention met, and after long delibera tion presented for ratification by the states a constitution. This constitutfon was ratified, and thus was born that new nation now loved and revered at home, and knowh — and respeoted throughout the world as the United States of America. For more than a century wo have lived and prospered under that government. * * The true Amerfcan idea- is equality. Laws which are unequal, laws which im- poso burdens upon some in ordor tljat others maybe benefltted, laws which enable some to exact a tribute from the labor and substance of others, laws which grants privileges to certain lines of business, and deny such privileges to all others, are undemocratic and un- American. They have no place in our system. Equal rights to all'and special privileges to none is the American Idea, and any law that violates this rule, no matter under what specibus plea It is passed, Is unjust, undemocratic and a violation of the rights of the masses of the people Thirty years ago onr manufactures, our agriculture and our commerce flour ished, general prosperity prevailed, wealth was diffused among the people. Texas were low and all raen^could And steady employment at reasonable wages. To-day this 1* not so. The nation Is rich, but the masses of its people are poor. More than a million dollar! go dally Into our treasury, and many mil lions of Industrious, hard-working, honest people And unremunera- tlve the legitimate and proper busineee in which they are engaged The wealth of the country le consoli dated in the hande of the few. With a population of sixty-two million, one-half of our national wealth is owaed by less than thirty thousand. Agriculture, our chief industry, languishes, and our com merce is destroyed. Men At to be free men, men capable of self-government, will investigate for tbemeelvee the canee of this lamentable change In our condi tion and they will And It large)/ in onr unjust, unequal and unfair tariff laws. It has been well said that the power to tax la the power to destroy. By indirection, under the taxing power, that may be done which if directly attempted would be clearly violative of our fundamental law. The tax of 10 per cent on etate bank circulation as perfectly and com pletely prevents such issue, as would a law expressly forbidding It and yet os- tenelbly that law was passed to raise revenue. The taxing power may be also used to upbuild certain lines of business at the expense of others. Mr. Crisp then attacked the present high tariff laws. Ho said that bot£> par ties agreed wo must raise money from customs duties. He said that any tariff law which would afford sufficient reve nues for the proper conduct of the gov ernment would at the same time give the American manufacturer such an advan tage over European manufacturer* as to enable him to pay the difference in the cost of labor here and there. The republican party was not satisfled with this degree of protection. Its ob ject was to give advantage to the manu facturer and not to the laborer. This law increased the cost of all the neces saries of life and deprived ng of a mar ket for our surplus. The Chinese wall, which the Republicans had built, shot in, as well ns ont Onr great surplus of. agricultural products must be exchanged for other products abroad, and we could not make such exchange profltably If we had to leave at our custom-houses one-I TJ|R half or one-third of that for' which we'l 1 had exchanged our crops. Foreign countries could not always buy Irom us unless we sometimes bought from them; no man can continually* buy unless he can sometimes tell. All men were Wil ing to protect the Interest of the labor ing man, but our present law goes away beyond any question of that sort and is a positive injury to him. • • • They, seated members who hod not been elected, they increased largely the number of office holders. They sus tained their speaker iu arbitrary and unjust denials of the rights of the minority, and,they dissipated in reckless and Inexcusable extravaganco the large surplus, which, under democratic rule, had accumulated in the public treasury. This was themostun-Americancongress that ever assembled. Midway In Us career the elections name off, and this party of honesty anil moral Ideas had so abused the trust that had been reposed in it that, with a unanimity almost un paralleled in any country, they wore contemptuously hurled from power, To the fifty- second congress the pco pie returned a democratic majority of 150.Was ever rebuke noire promptly ad ministered, and was it over more richly deserved? This part}', which claim# to be American, endeavored in the senate to stifle tho voice of the states. When England sought to destroy and oppress the people of Ireland, parliament adopt ed the cloture rale. Whon tlie repub lican party sought by tho passage of the force bill to prevent a free and fair ex presslon of the popular will it endeav ored Inlho.Senate to stifle full and free debato and adopt tbe English cloture rule here, and this, they claim, is the great American party t Mr, Crisp, in conclusion said: The democratic party is tho party of the people, if we are united and earnest and tireless in our efforts at the next election we will triumph all along the line, and for the first time in thirty years will be In a condition to make laws for tho people. We can elect a pros! dent, a senate and a house of rephesenta- tivefi Then our responsibility will be gin; then we can do much for the relief of tbe peoqle; then we can, amply car ing for the Interests of labor, greatly dl minisb taxation, reduce public expendi ture, restore our commerce, foster our agriculture, encourage our manufactures and thus bring to the masses of the American people prosperity to whloh they have long been strangers, and that peace'and contentment which prosperity alone can bring.

About That Itaelgna'ion. The resignation of Supt. W. N. Mar shall of the S., A. A M, road was tbe talk of the city yesterday. Many slates were arranged by those who discussed the matter.

Castleberry says that be has one of the best guns on earth, bnt It went back on him one night this week, and saved the life of one of his males. It happened this way.
